Diagnosis: "Favors Essential Thrombocythemia"

So this is good news. Except for one thing. My bmb did show some "mild to moderate reticulin fibrosis. Nevertheless the diagnosis favors the ET. My hematologist says that we will keep a close eye on bloodwork going forward. As I have the Calr 1 mutation and am already on Eliquis, no additional medication is warranted at this time.

My typical nature is to worry, but a hemapathologist at a major cancer center is certainly the one to make these calls, not me.

Time to get on with life.
